Franciscan B (Hilton)
Description:
A wide range of fundamentally and practically important nanoscale polymer phenomena are of interest. This includes, but is not limited to, issues of transport and thermophysical properties, interfacial or confined reactions, self-assembly, or novel methods for formation or characterization of nanoscale structure. Topics could include either experimental or modeling/simulation components.
